The final minutes of the game were exciting with both teams having chances to close out the game. Aquinas had a late extra-man opportunity that the Eagles man down defense closed out. Irondequoit attempted to slow down the pace, but Aquinas took the ball back and had another shot at the goal. A late shot by Jamir Jones (Aquinas) bounced off the pipe to keep Irondequoit in the lead. The Eagles took back possession with 0:37 remaining and held the ball for the win.

In the cage for Aquinas, Bryce Kelly finished at 58% (11 saves). For Irondequoit, Carter Whittemore and Max Eismann split halves.
